RPG Maker is a game development tool that lets users create 2D role-playing games without needing to code. It features a tile-based map editor, event system, and database for managing characters, enemies, and items. Users can customize graphics, music, and scripts—or use built-in assets—to craft unique adventures. Since its debut in 1988, versions like RPG Maker 2000, XP, VX Ace, and MZ have powered countless indie games, from hobby projects to cult hits like To the Moon.
